"CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'LL BE THIS SELFISH." his bitter voice echoed in the corridor, grabbing everyone's attention, "You are doing it for Honey, don't you? Once brother Shishi is dead, you can have Honey all by yourself. Disgusting. Selfish. Cunning." 

She continued walking in a transfixed state, the staff cast a look at her, "Just pray nothing happens to my brother, or I will make sure you live under the four walls of prion, and would die a painful death hoping to see the boy that you claim to be yours. HE IS NOT. You don't deserve him. Neither you deserve my brother. OPPORTUNISTIC WOMAN!"

She didn't turn. Jin whirled at the military doctor.

The doctor looked at the C.h.e.s.t X-Ray, lips pursing into a thin line, "Had it been a normal bullet injury, I'd have done it. But this one looks serious. We need a cardiothoracic surgeon."

"Make sure nothing happens. Keep him stable." Jin fished out his phone from pocket, "I will arrange something," If not her, he would call the team of doctors Wang Shi had bring from People's Hospital. Or fly back to Cheyna to bring the best doctors. 

He'd do everything but won't let his brother die. Never.

....

....

Jianyu came carrying Honey in arms, Xiu Mei on the stretcher behind him. A doctor rushed to check on her. Jianyu let him, "She hit her head at car's window."

"Brother!" Jin sprinted, "What happen to Sister Meimei?" 

"Hold him," Jianyu passed Honey to him, "Careful, his knees and elbows are bruised." Without bothering to answer Jin's question, he turned to the doctor and said something in a low voice. From behind, Xion came. He was on phone with someone. 

"I have asked for more medical staff, and supplies. The local government will make it available within two hours, and more will come from Cheyna by morning." 

"Dad, where is he? Howz he? Where is mum? Take me to them," No matter how much he tried to hold back his tears, his choked voice was the mirror of his emotional state.

"Jin," Jianyu chided in a heavy tone. "Brother Shishi is fine. He's in good hands. X, can you take from here? I need to check on something else."

"Sure," Before leaving, Xion and Jianyu exchanged a meaningful glance as they looked at Xiu Mei. Jianyu kissed his wife's forehead before she was rolled away from him.

"I know they are here. Why are you not taking me to them?" Honey wiggled in Jin's arms, kicking at his stomach. But they were just pokes to him. An adamant tear finally broke loose, rolling down his dirt stained cheeks, "Did something happen?"

Jianyu took Honey back, "Nothing happened. Your dad acted like a superman and got himself hurt." Honey's expression changed to shock, "Don't worry. Your ducky is here with him. Isn't she the famous ZZ who is as good a doctor as Shishi?"

Honey nodded between tears, "Ducky is best. I never told dad, but I think ducky is better than him," 

Jin snorted. Jianyu gave him a stern look.

"Right! So my cute Honey bunny, why fear when your ducky is here? Just wait a little more til Suyin is treating Shishi, can you?" He checked time at his wristwatch, "And I can see it's your birthday today. How about you go with the nurse and get your wounds bandaged? Suyin and Shishi won't like to see their birthday boy like this."

A nurse who was standing at a distance extended her hands, but Honey looked pleadingly at Jianyu, "Can I see them once. Please?"

"Kids are not allowed near patients," Jianyu prevented using the word operation theatre, lest he scare Honey. "While Suyin is treating Shishi, get your wounds bandaged,"

...

...

After Honey left, Jin whirled at Jianyu, "Brother--"

"Shut up." Jianyu snapped, "Don't let out your frustration of failing to protect Wang Shi at Suyin." It left him speechless. Was his anger really the frustration of failing in his duty? But Suyin refused to treat Wang Shi. 

"She refused to treat him,"

"Is that?" Jianyu's tone didn't go unnoticed, "Come with me. Let me enlighten you who Suyin is," Jin silently followed Jianyu. His mind occupied with hundreds of questions. The first one, how Jianyu knows of his conversation with Suyin? 

Jianyu parted the curtain of the room in which Wang Shi was finding the bed empty, a nurse cleaning it. His expression remained indifferent, as if aware where Wang Shi was. "Take me to the patient," Jin saw Jianyu picking something from the tray holding patient's belongings and throw it at him. 

Wang Shi's earphone. Still on. That answered most of his questions.

"Now," The nurse didn't dare to refuse. The man was in no mood to take no for an answer. 

"They are inside," The nurse said, pointing at a closed door.

"Who else?" Jianyu asked,

"Patient, a military doctor and nurse, and the woman."

"And?"

Nurse gulped. She understood what was happening as she happened to be there when the mister in the military uniform yelled at the bald woman, "I don't know what was wrong with her, but she said she saw a slight reduction in the electrical flow of the ECG that's restricting cardiac output and didn't let us take the patient for CT. Acting against the doctor's wish, she took him to the OT instead." The nurse looked nervously between the two. "If you have anything to say, please talk to her. We have nothing to do with it."

She had been working as a nurse for some time and had seen what people in military uniforms do to them when they fail to save their people. The two standing in front looks like from one of the militia groups.

"You may go." The nurse sprinted from there. Jianyu turned to Jin, "Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before you hurt someone, feel. Before you speak. Think."

*******

"Mum!" Her eyes shook open when Honey jumped for her embrace, wrapping his arms around her neck. 

She bit back a painful groan, willing to give a smile to the worrywart, "He's fine. Your daddy is fine, fairy,"

"I know. Why fear when my ducky is here. You are the best." A soft kiss on cheek was the much needed warmth for her. His little hands reached to brush Suyin's non existent hair, "Why are you looking so pale? Did bad man bullied you?" Suyin struggled to keep her eyes open as darkness hinders her vision.

"Hung--hungry," she managed to say before her hands slipped down. Jianyu ran by her side and supported her.

Jianyu, "Honey, go get something to eat. Fast." Honey innocently ran without a second's delay, asking a nurse where he could find something to eat. Jianyu gestured his men to follow him and don't let him come here.

"Suyin," Suyin let out a painful groan, clutching her bleeding leg. Jianyu propped her knees up, finding her surgical trousers soaked in blood from behind. He picked her up, "Call the doctor,"

That's the problem with being a strong one. Everyone expects, but no one offers a hand. That's the problem with being a strong one. You learn to ignore your pain. That's the problem with being a strong one. You keep fighting. You keep smiling. You can't give up.

You can't give up.

You can't give up.
